TCP/IP in Windows 2000 Professional

Setup installs TCP/IP by default if you have accepted the default Windows 2000 Professional installation options. If you are upgrading to Windows 2000 Professional, however, Setup replaces your existing network configuration.

If your original Windows installation included a third-party TCP/IP protocol stack, Setup replaces the existing TCP/IP protocol. If there are features that are required by your third-party stack you must determine whether they are supported by Windows 2000 TCP/IP. If these features are required, you must install the third-party stack by using the installation tool provided by your network vendor.
